Wonderful
We loved our experience in Tanzania with Khalifa. He was a wonderful tour guide and you could tell he had a lot of respect for the animals and their home. He was always able to answer our millions of questions about different animals to current politics or how to cook banana stew. Everywhere we stayed felt like luxury even though this was a mid level safari. Every meal was delicious and plentiful, but would have loved to try more traditional dishes.
Lion King does provide tipping etiquette for guides and accommodation on their website. If you add on additional activities, your tour guide is not the one accompanying you on these activities, so expect to pay additional tips on these days.
I would 100% recommend a safari in Tanzania with Lion King.

10/10, can’t recommend enough!
We had the most incredible safari experience, can’t recommend highly enough! Our guide Jeff made the experience amazing, he found every animal we were hoping to see, and the lodge where we stayed was great and happily catered to our vegan requests. If you’re looking for a Maasai Mara safari this is the one, and if you get Jeff then you’re in for a treat! 10/10

Great tour with Uwanda Tours and Safaris through Southern Tanzania
We had a great time travelling with Uwanda Tours and Safaris for 12 days through the Game Parks of Southern Tanzania. Our driver Emanul was a safe and excellent driver especially with all the trucks that were on the road and also during our final game drive where it had rained overnight turning all the dirt roads into a wet sloshy mud. The skills of his 4 wheel driving were amazing and allowed us to spend the day in the park.
All the accommodation and staff were excellent along with the meals we had at each place.
We completed all that was in the itinerary and Emanul went out of his way to ensure we got the most out of all our game drives.
All communication with Uwanda Tours was very good with quick responses to our emails.
We highly recommend Uwanda Tours and Safaris.

Would recommend!
Fiona and Lillian took care of me and my partner during this trip. We went to Kenya and Tanzania for a 10 day Safari tour. I think the National Parks we visited were AMAZING! We saw the big 5 in this trip and we were lucky to see a live hunt by lionesses and a live kill by hyenas. They are very accommodating and responsive and checked up on us throughout our trip. They were also open to suggestions and they really listen and put action what could be better. Our driver Eric was so nice and very knowledgeable. Super professional and patient. Saw 4 out of the 5 “big 5” with him. I’m very happy I booked with touristline safaris. Thank you so much!
THE BEST SAFARI EXPERIENCE
We absolutely loved our guide. Bigmac was easy to coordinate with and very friendly. Highly recommend.

Game viewing in Maasai Mara
Kenya is an easy country to visit. Nairobi is a bustling city and it feels much safer now than it did a number of years ago. Maasai Mara is one of the great game parks in East Africa. It is popular, so often there are a number of safari vehicles sharing a sighting but in general the drivers are respectful of each other so all visitors get good viewing of animals.

Beautiful nature and friendly people, with some bumpy roads!
Kenya is a beautiful country to visit- but there is no public transport.
We arranged our safari through “Explore Kenya safari” and had a driving safari. Was picked up at the Nairobi hotel, drove through the amazing Rift Valley to Nakuru park. Birds and animal watching around the lake, staying at a wonderful Nakuru lodge.Then drove on to Masai Mara over the beautiful Mau mountains.
Fantastic place and again a wonderful lodge. Hippos and crocodiles along the river right outside the Mara Simba lodge.
We saw all big five and lots of other animals and birds during our safari.
Nice to end up at the coast. Excellent food all places.

A magic and unforgettable experience
Due to the extensive experience of the safari guides and years of organising African safaris, spirit of Kenya ensured our safari was an unforgettable experience. Jorge, our tour organiser was so patient and helpful when answering my 101 questions. His knowledge of suitable game parks and the best accomodation options to suit our needs, made a big difference to our enjoyment of the safari. Also our tour guide James. I can't say enough about him. Due to his years of experience, knowledge of Masai culture and professional attitude and driving skills, he made a world of difference to our experience. Many other safari tourists didn't see half of what we saw, or experienced because of less experienced guides. We met other spirit of Kenya guides also and they all seem good but I'd highly recommend you ask for James if possible, when organising your trip.

Really well curated experience, always looked out for our safety and enjoyment!
The experience with Brilliant was very smooth. Jane helped to curate the itinerary before taking off, going back and forth to accommodate specific lodges, and made sure to personally greet us after arrival. Joshua was our guide and amazing, he made sure we were comfortable and got to see everything we wanted on the safaris. He was very flexible and took us around using his expertise of the parks, very receptive to any requests. Overall incredibly comfortable and easy experience.
